When Two Worlds Collide: The Honda S2000 With a Toyota GR 86 Bumper

For fans of Japanese sports cars, the Honda S2000 has always been a hallmark of engineering prowess and sleek design. While purists would argue that such a classic should be left untouched, there's a growing community of S2000 owners who are taking customization to the next level.

This particular S2000, currently in Japan, is one such specimen. Its most striking feature? A front bumper borrowed from a Toyota GR 86. Shared on the Front And Rear End Swaps page on Facebook, the combination has the internet buzzing.

Before its transformation, this Honda S2000 was originally silver but has since been repainted in a vivid blue shade. Besides sporting the Toyota GR 86's front bumper, the car features flared wheel arches, a custom carbon fiber hood, a fixed hardtop, and a prominent rear wing.

It seems that grafting the GR 86's bumper onto the S2000 wasn't a straightforward task. The front of the S2000 is narrower than the GR 86, requiring modifications to the bumper, particularly around the grille and air intakes. Intriguingly, the owner chose to keep the original GR badge on the grille.

So, what's the verdict? This S2000's unique blend of Honda and Toyota elements is certainly an attention-grabber, but opinions will be divided. Some will see it as an inspiring example of what's possible in the world of car modification, while others might consider it an affront to the integrity of two Japanese sports car icons.
